Qué cubre este vídeo

Christian Williams performs spring maintenance and sail tuning on his boat, *Thelonious*, in Southern California. He calibrates Genoa sheet lead positions by marking the track for different furling settings, aiming for balanced tension between the sail's foot and leech.4:22 To manage the boat single-handed, he relies on a Raymarine wheel pilot, which he maintains with water to silence squeaking.5:29 He also replaces degraded acrylic strips on the sliding companionway hatch and constructs a custom wooden step to improve access to the V-berth.9:09 While he maintains an Eastport Pram dinghy on deck, he notes its limited utility compared to an inflatable.12:34 He concludes that cruising boat ownership primarily involves ongoing stewardship and small, incremental improvements to onboard systems.21:43
